    Get open back headphones. They’re specifically for audiophiles who think headphones aren’t the same. I have some and love them. Ear buds and normal headphones feel like you’re trapped in your head. Open back simulate being in the room with music.

    Also, fuck you if you play your sorry ass music loud enough that your neighbors can hear it or feel it. I don’t care if it’s just the sweet part of Fade to Black or the riff on Aerodynamic, if a neighbor plays that shit pound enough to broadcast the muffled remix, it’s fucking war.

    Edit: actually an unpopular opinion, upvoted

    It’s the one reason I like my shitty little house. My 4 12" subs on my home theater system are not exactly apartment friendly.

    Unfortunately that also means having a yard that I hate mowing in the summer, and loathe having to shovel in the winter.

      I have 2 15" subs in the living room for the same reason. The railing of my stairs in the other half of the house starts shaking when I turn them up.

      My house is even made out of brick.

    Nah fuck them neighbors. Be polite and don’t play music loud before 11am or after 7-8pm. But beyond that you live there and pay rent and deserve to enjoy your domicile however you want given it doesn’t hurt anyone. Do you have neighbors with dogs, that bark all the time like I do? Then fuck em, you deserve your music at reasonable times if they get to have dogs that bark for hours at 3am.

    Edit: wanted to mention, usually when I get a new neighbor I put a post it on their door with my number saying if the musics ever a bother to call or text me. Be polite like I said, but don’t just sit their in agony on a perceived notion that your neighbors will mind a little music during reasonable hours.

      Yeah I’m surprised so many people are against this, everyone makes noise, and I pay $1500 too much to live here so I’m going to make my own version of reasonable noise at the appropriate times.

    If you blast your music loudly enough to bother your neighbors you deserve to reap the bullshit you’ve sown.

      beyond a certain point sure, but there’s no way to estimate how sensitive they are to reasonable noise either

    Yo fuck all these people saying to use headphones. How am I supposed to jam out with headphones in? Then you just have the anxiety of them flying out or off of your ears.

    Nothing like cranking the tunes and dancing your heart out.

    Luckily I live above a business and they are gone after 10 and loud music during the day as long as it’s not for too long isn’t a big deal.
